Chaplain Describes Parachuting From Burning Airplane
by Barbara Cowgill
Lertis R Elliott, SC graduate student and one of the 15 chaplains who safely parachuted from burning plane Monday, called his rescue along with 17 others “a miracle of God.”
“We sure did a lot of praying on the way down because none of us had ever parachuted before,” Mr. Elliott said. “As far as we knew, the pilot, co-pilot and crew chief had very little chance of bailing out safely because they made us go first.”
The Air Force C-46 had taken off from Lockheed Air Terminal to fly the chaplains to the Western Regional Chaplain’s Conference at Mather Air Force Base in Sacramento when the right engine caught fire. It burned off and fell across Highway 99.
Capt. Thomas E. Wilson, pilot, ordered the chaplains to jump. His co-pilot, Lieut. Earl W. Meredith, Jr., and his crew chief, Sgt. Arin Plew, then followed the chaplains. Capt. Wilson was the last to leave the burning plane. He parachuted to the ground 500 feet from the crash.
The plane swept over Saugus Elementary School and crashed into the Los Angeles Police Department rehabilitation center near Newhall. Police Officer Jack Lomkin and four inmates turned a hose on the flames.
Elliott, who was in charge of the chaplains on the way to the conference, is minister of the Lawndale Church of Christ. He graduated from SC in 1952 and is now taking graduate study in history. He is a colonel in the Air Force Reserves and spoken to the Air Force ROTC at SC.
Elliott said he has something to av to future pilots.
“Anytime a pilot is carrying a lane load of chaplains which atches on fire, he should be sure o get all the chaplains out first o they will have time to pray for im."
It worked for Captain Wilson, 'ho only suffered shock. None f the others were seriously injur-d, although they landed in scat-ered sections of Bouquet Cannon’s slopes where flames from the transport started three brush ires.

Senior Class Programming Jubilee Events
Keeping pace with the University’s schedule for an activity-filled 75th anniversary year, the Senior Class has slated a full program of events for the coming year, according to Class President Jerry Baker.
“This year's Senior Class has the distinction of being the graduating class for the diamond jubilee,” Baker said. "Therefore, it will be the responsibility of the Senior Class council to plan and coordinate the many Senior events that will be held during this memorable year.
“In order to properly plan and organize these Senior events, it is important that we have a hardworking and well - reprn-.fnted Senior Class council to handle the many tasks at hand,” Baker said.
The Senior Class president went on to say that petitions are now available for membeisnip on the council. Petitions ma.y be obtained in the Senior Class office, 214 SU. All petitions must be returned by 3 p.m., Monday, Baker added.
Baker urged all Senior Class members, may they be members of the Row or independents, to apply for membership. A schedule of interviews for candidates will be announced in Tuesday’s Daily Trejan.
Because of the many events scheduled for this 75th anniversary, Baker stated that this year’s council will be larger than those in recent years. At present, it is hoped that the Council will number approximately 60 members.
Baker added it is his wish that all fraternities and sororities have at least one member on the council.
TROJAN YELL KING ASKS MORE RAH-RAH
“Let’s match the great spirit of our Trojan football team.”
This was the challenge made to the SC student body yesterday by Don Ward, Trojan yell king.
Ward, in reviewing last Friday night’s game against the Washington State Cougars, commented that our Trojan eleven deserves more support during the remaining season than displayed at Friday’s game.
“Coach Jess Hill has said that this is the best spirited team he has ever coached,” Ward said. “The least the student body can do is to match this great spirit—a spirit which could easily take us to the 1955 Rose Rowl.
“Many of the downtown papers were critical of our rooting section for the Washington State game,” he added. “We were criticized for both our support and spirit.
“Well the Cougar game is now history—good or bad spirit included,” the popular yell leader said. “But we have a full season ahead of us. Tomorrow night’s Pittsburgh game wHl mark a good opportunity for all Trojans to display the real spirit that has become synonymous with SC in recent years.”
Ward urged all students, especially the 2200 freshmen at Troy, to learn all of Troy’s songs and yells.
“The first football rally of the year, set for tomorrow at noon, will give these new students a good chance to see just how good they know SC’s yells and songs,” Ward said.
But Ward also warned all returning students to brush-up on Trojan yells and songs.
“After a semester or two at SC, many Trojans take our songs and yells for granted,” Ward commented. “I’d be willing to bet my prized pair of Bermudas against all the ice in the Theta igloo that there aren’t more than a handful of students at Troy who know all the songs and yells.”
WTard went on to praise the work of the Trojan band.
“Although understaffed, the band sounded great Friday night,” Don said. “Let’s give Tommy Walker and our band a lot of support by knowing all of our songs.”

ech Asks Men Wanting eferments to Report Now
Men students wanting draft exemptions this semester should report immediately to Elwyn E. Brooks at window three in the registrar’s office, Albert F. Zch, counselor of men, said yesterday.
School draft deferments were tightened this week by an execute order signed by President Ei-ihower. A student entering actuate school in a class beginning on or after next Jan. 1 must either be in the upper one-fourth of his class in his last undergraduate year, or attain a score ot SO on the qualification test required by Selective Service regulations.
Formerly a student was required either to be in the upper one-half of his class, or attain a mark of 75 on the qualification test.
Contact Brooks “All new’ students who are IS or older and subject to selective service should contact Brooks shortly after registering so official University forms can be sent to their respective draft boards,” «aid Zech.
“This form, called 242, is not ecessarily a deferment, but a neral statement that the stu-jent has enrolled for a full-time gtudy program in the university.” Dr. Zech stressed the require-
ment that undergraduate men must register for and maintain a minimum load of 15 units in order to be considered full-time students by the Selective Service system.
Grad Students Graduate students should check with their local hoards regarding minimum course loads.
If a student receives a 1-A classification notice or an induction notice, he should apply for a 1-S classification (statutory deferment). The student under 1-S must be registered and maintain satisfactory work in the full-time program. He is restrained until the end of the academic year he has begun or until he fails to do satisfactory work.
At the end of each academic year, the student should fill out Selective Service Form No. 109 in the Office of the Registrar. This serves as a report of the student’s performance lor the academic year to his local board.
Deferments On the basis of the report, the local board can grant a 2-S deferment if the undergraduate student has completed his first academic year in the upper two-thirds of his class, and the third year in the upper three-iourt'.is.
If he takes the National College Classification test, he must receive a score of at least 70. This test is usually given in December and April and all male students eligible for induction should take the test.
The 2-S classification is given on or before the start of the academic vear and remains in effect un. il July 15 of the following

year. The student is usually classified 1-A and stays in that position until Form 109 has been examined and a new 2-S classification granted. Form 109 is forwarded by student request only, Zech said.
Xo Credit
No academic credit will be given students withdrawing from SC before their tenth week of work, Zech revealed. However, financial tuition credit will be extended to them upon their return to the university.
If a student goes into military service after Nov. 27, full course credit on the basis of existing grades of C or better will be given on petition by the studeent. Grads of D, Iw, or F will be recorded as IW’s.
Foreign students on temporary visitor visas and students who are in the US on exchange visitor visas are eligible for induction in the armed services at the end of one year. They should register with the nearest draft board.
Students on permanent visas come under the same set of regulations as US citizens. Students here on student visas need not register.

Army Lieutenant Colonel R^ind Guilty Of Collaborating with Reds W^ile P0W
by United Press
FORT SHERIDAN, 111., Sept. 22—An Army Court Martial Board today found Lt. Col. Harry Flaming guilty of charges that he collaborated with the Communists while a prisoner of w-ir in Korea.
The 11-member court declared Fleming innocent of three specifications in the charges against him and found him guilty of four specifications.
Fleming, a 46-year-old career soldier from Racine, Wis., was the first U.S. Army officer to be tried on charges of collaborating with the enemy in Korea.
No sentence was announced immediately by the court. Fleming would face punishment ranging any where from a simple reprimand to life in prison, at the discretion of the court.
The 11 colonels comprising the court later withdrew to deliberate a sentence after the defense issued a plea for a minimum penalty. Fleming’s attorneys told the court he exercised the best judgment he could in Korea so that “he and all the POWS might live.”
The verdict is subject to review by the Fifth Army, which had jurisdiction over the trial, and the Judge Advocate General’s Office in Washington. Aides said this probably would take five months.
The defendant has the right of appeal, but one probably would not be made until the Army reviews have been completed.
Fleming issued a statement that “although I lost this battle, don’t expect to lose in the end.”
“In the end right will prevail,” he said. Both Fleming and his wife indicated they would fight the case as far as they could.
Fleming was found guilty of collaborating with the Reds by making propaganda broadcasts
for them and conducting Communist “indoctrination” classes for fellow prisoners.
But he was freed of severaJ minor charges, including one that he once stomped on the foot of a prisoner. Another charge the court rejected was that he told the Reds of an argument among prisoners which led to their confinement in a disciplinary area.

TAIPEI, Thursday, Sept. 23 —Chinese Communist artillery shattered a day-long lull yesterday with a bombardment of Nationalist-held Quemoy Island capped by a heavy barrage last night.
The Ministry of National Defense reported that Nationalist gunners returned the fire and sporadic duelling continued throughout the night. There were no reports of casualties or damage.
Stepped up artillery action came as Nationalist warplanes again hammered Communist positions around Amoy and shipping and junk fleets along the China coast opposite Formosa.
The Air Force claimed one 600-ton gunboat sunk and four others crippled near Chuen-Crow Bay 40 miles north of Amoy.
Delayed dispatches reported that Communist propeller-driven planes from Shanghai roared over Nationalist-held Tachen Island north of Quemoy Island Tuesday but were driven off by anti-aircraft fire.

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 22— American Legion National Commander Seaborn P. Collins sharply criticized the Administration today for failing to have “plans and action capable of halting the Red march.”
His attack, made in a speech before the American Federation of Labor’s 73rd annual conven-
tion, was directed not only at the present administration but against the previous government which he blamed for a “psychological defeat” in Korea.
He called for a “new foreign policy” to replace the current policy which he said has been unable to halt Communist aggression.
“The American Legion firmly believes that we have in this country the intelligence, the power and the will to triumph over Communism,” he said. “We are convinced, however, that the government has not yet translated that strength into plans and action capable of halting the Red March.”

WORLD NEWS ROUNDUP
Army Lieutenant Colonel R^ind Guilty Of Collaborating with Reds W^ile P0W
by United Press
FORT SHERIDAN, 111., Sept. 22—An Army Court Martial Board today found Lt. Col. Harry Flaming guilty of charges that he collaborated with the Communists while a prisoner of w-ir in Korea.
The 11-member court declared Fleming innocent of three specifications in the charges against him and found him guilty of four specifications.
Fleming, a 46-year-old career soldier from Racine, Wis., was the first U.S. Army officer to be tried on charges of collaborating with the enemy in Korea.
No sentence was announced immediately by the court. Fleming would face punishment ranging any where from a simple reprimand to life in prison, at the discretion of the court.
The 11 colonels comprising the court later withdrew to deliberate a sentence after the defense issued a plea for a minimum penalty. Fleming’s attorneys told the court he exercised the best judgment he could in Korea so that “he and all the POWS might live.”
The verdict is subject to review by the Fifth Army, which had jurisdiction over the trial, and the Judge Advocate General’s Office in Washington. Aides said this probably would take five months.
The defendant has the right of appeal, but one probably would not be made until the Army reviews have been completed.
Fleming issued a statement that “although I lost this battle, don’t expect to lose in the end.”
“In the end right will prevail,” he said. Both Fleming and his wife indicated they would fight the case as far as they could.
Fleming was found guilty of collaborating with the Reds by making propaganda broadcasts
for them and conducting Communist “indoctrination” classes for fellow prisoners.
But he was freed of severaJ minor charges, including one that he once stomped on the foot of a prisoner. Another charge the court rejected was that he told the Reds of an argument among prisoners which led to their confinement in a disciplinary area.

TAIPEI, Thursday, Sept. 23 —Chinese Communist artillery shattered a day-long lull yesterday with a bombardment of Nationalist-held Quemoy Island capped by a heavy barrage last night.
The Ministry of National Defense reported that Nationalist gunners returned the fire and sporadic duelling continued throughout the night. There were no reports of casualties or damage.
Stepped up artillery action came as Nationalist warplanes again hammered Communist positions around Amoy and shipping and junk fleets along the China coast opposite Formosa.
The Air Force claimed one 600-ton gunboat sunk and four others crippled near Chuen-Crow Bay 40 miles north of Amoy.
Delayed dispatches reported that Communist propeller-driven planes from Shanghai roared over Nationalist-held Tachen Island north of Quemoy Island Tuesday but were driven off by anti-aircraft fire.

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 22— American Legion National Commander Seaborn P. Collins sharply criticized the Administration today for failing to have “plans and action capable of halting the Red march.”
His attack, made in a speech before the American Federation of Labor’s 73rd annual conven-
tion, was directed not only at the present administration but against the previous government which he blamed for a “psychological defeat” in Korea.
He called for a “new foreign policy” to replace the current policy which he said has been unable to halt Communist aggression.
“The American Legion firmly believes that we have in this country the intelligence, the power and the will to triumph over Communism,” he said. “We are convinced, however, that the government has not yet translated that strength into plans and action capable of halting the Red March.”
